On February 2018, Professor Simon Rule from Plymouth University Medical School, UK and colleagues, in a letter to the editor of Leukemia, published the final 3-year follow-up results from the RAY phase III clinical trial (NCT01646021). This randomized, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib versus temsirolimus for mantle cell lymphoma patients (MCL), who have previously relapsed from first-line therapy. The results of RAY indicated the superiority of ibrutinib over temsirolimus for MCL, in regards to efficacy, with ibrutinib-mediated progression-free survival (PFS) being significantly higher than that with temsirolimus (14.6 vs 6.2 months, HR 0.43, 95% CI [0.32–0.58]).
In this final follow-up analysis of the RAY phase III trial, three years post-treatment, the results were consistent to the ones observed in the primary analysis. In summary, ibrutinib led to significantly longer median PFS, OS and ORR, providing strong evidence on the sustained long-term clinical benefit of ibrunitib for primary relapsed MCL patients.
